PREFACE. 


MA/AJ 


Accepting  the  limitations  imposed  by  the  rigid  structure  of  the  AngHcan 
Chant,  and  indeed  by  music  itself  as  an  art,  advance  must  at  present  be  looked 
for,  in  the  Editor '$;  opinion,  along  the  line  of  careful,  accurate,  and  graphic 
presentation,  so  far  as  is  attainable,  of  the  meaning  and  teaching  of  the  Psahns, 
not  merely  by  seeking  to  improve  any  recognised  system  of  pointing,  as  applied 
to  single  verses,  but  by  such  further  and  more  important  aids  as  the  grouping  of 
verses  according  to  subject  and  feeling ;  the  selection  of  appropriate  Chants, 
Single,  Double,  Triple,  Quadruple ;  the  provision  of  Special  Settings,  and  such 
like  ;  regard  being  had  to  the  construction  and  character  of  each  Psalm  or 
group  of  verses. 

As  examples  of  Psalms  for  which  Single  Chants  are  suitable,  may  be 
mentioned  Psalms  8,  15,  30,  67.  Among  the  Psalms  for  which  Double  Chants 
are  suitable,  mav  be  mentioned  Psalms  3,  24,  38,  74.  Triple  Chants  are  suitable 
for  Psalms  2,  39^  41,  76,  77,  96,  97,  137,  146,  as  well  as  for  Psalms  1  and  98,  when 
re-arranged.  As  suitable  for  special  treatment  may  be  mentioned  Psalms  18, 
68,  78,  104,  105,  106,  107.  Many,  indeed  most,  of  the  Psalms  can  be  equally 
well  rendered  musically  by  Single  Chants  as  by  Double.  For  the  Gloria  Patri, 
which  is  not  to  be  looked  upon  as  any  part  of  the  Psalm  which  it  follows,  either 
a  Single  or  a  Double  Chant  can  be  used. 

It  will  be  found  best  to  assign  each  Chant,  whenever  such  an  arrangement 
is  practicable,  to  a  whole  Psalm,  or  a  considerable  section  of  a  Psalm,  in  many 
instances  comprising  more  than  one  subordinate  gi-oup  of  verses,  leavino^  it  to 
the  Organist  and  the  Choir  to  give  suitable  expression  to  the  several  verses  or 
subordinate  groups  within  the  Psalm  or  section,  by  means  of  renderings  (which 
can  be  varied  almost  indefinitely,  according  to  taste  and  musical  skill),  adapted 
to  the  changes  and  alternations  of  subject  and  feeling,  which  are  often  almost 
inextricably  interwoven,  and  often  succeed  each  other  very  rapidly. 

In  view  of  the  reliance  which  must  naturally  and  necessarily  be  placed  upon 
the  taste  and  skill  of  the  Organist,  the  Choirmaster,  and  the  Choir  itself,  it  has 
been  thought  sufficient  to  insert  at  the  beginning  of  each  group  of  verses,  of 
whatever  length,  a  mark  (7;,  mf,  f,  ff)  suggestive  of  the  musical  expression 
proper  to  it  in  general,  without  specifying  more  precisely,  except  when  strong 
contrasts  seem  to  call  for  it,  the  mode  of  dealing  with  each  verse  in  the  group. 
It  is  felt  that  while  it  is  well  to  indicate  general  expression,  to  go  too  much  into 
detail,  even  if  it  could  be  fully  and  satisfactorily  carried  out.  might  induce  a 
fatiguing  sense  of  restlessness,  and  tend  to  weaken,  rather  than  enhance,  the 
advantages  of  the  system  of  grouping. 

The  two  main  difficulties  in  chanting,  it  will  be  admitted,  consist,  first,  in 
securing  the  deliberate  and  audible  enunciation  of  the  words  which  go  to  the 
recitation-note,  and.  second,  in  connecting  smoothly  the  free  recitation  with  the 
rhythmical  part  of  the  Chant. 

With  regard  to  the  former  difficulty,  in  order  to  obviate  all  need  of  hurry  in 
recitation,   and  indeed  to  prevent  it,  if  possible,  the   words  which  go  to  the 

084 


iv  PREFACE. 


recitation-note  have  been  divided  by  means  of  asterisks  into  phrases  which 
can  reasonably  be  taken  in  one  breath.  At  the  asterisk,  wherever  it  occurs,  a 
shght  break  should  be  made.  The  one  stop  retained  in  the  body  of  the  text  is 
the  comma,  and  that  only  in  places  where  the  construction  of  the  sentence, 
and  the  expression  of  its  meaning,  require  that  its  several  divisions  should 
be  marked.     Breath  can  be  taken,  if  necessary,  at  any  comma. 

Pimctuation  should  not  be  observed  in  a  slavish,  stilted,  pedantic  fashion, 
but  as  an  intelligent  reader  would  observe  it,  letting  the  observance  be 
perceptible  by  the  audience,  but  not  obtruding  it  upon  their  notice. 

With  regard  to  the  latter  difficulty,  the  principle  has  been  followed  of  inter- 
posing between  the  free  recitation  and  the  rhythmical  part  of  the  Chant  an 
initial  bar  (or,  as  Dr.  Elvey  calls  it,  an  "imaginary"  bar),  which  practically, 
however,  is  the  first  bar  in  the  mediation  or  the  cadence  of  the  Chant. 

1.  If  there  is  only  one  syllable  in  the  initial  bar,  a  semibreve  is  placed  over 
it,  to  show  that  it  should  occupy  the  whole  of  the  bar ;  e.g. — 

Psalm  xcv.  1. 

0  come,  let  us  sing  I  unto  •  the  I  Lord  : 

2.  If  there  are  two  syllables  in  the  initial  bar,  there  are  placed  over  them 
either, 

(a)  two  minims  ;  or 

(6)  a  dotted  minim  and  a  crotchet ;  or, 

(c)  a  crotchet  and  a  dotted  minim  ;  e.g. — 

(a)  Psalm  xv.  7. 

Wh8-so  I  doeth  •  these  I  things  : 

(b)  Psalm  xcv.  4. 

In  his  hand  are  all  the  c^rn-^rs  I  of  the  I  earth  : 

(c)  Psalm  cxlii.  7. 

Consid-er*  I  my  com- 1 -plaint : 

3.  If  there  are  three  syllables  in  the  initial  bar,  there  are  placed  over  them 
either, 

(a)  a  triplet  of  minims  ;  or, 

{b)  a  minim  and  two  crotchets  (or  their  equivalent) ;  or, 

(c)  two  crotchets  (or  their  equivalent   and  a  minim  ;  or, 

{d)  a  minim  between  two  crotchets  ;  e.g. — 

(a)  Psalm  xcv.  6. 

0  come,  let  us  w^r-shfp  f(nd  I  fall  I  down  : 
{b)  Psalm  xcv.  1. 

let  us  heartily  rejoice  in  the  I  strengtli  of  I  our  sal-l-vation. 


PRE  FA  CE. 


(c)  Psalm  xcv.  5. 

The  s^a  fs  hfs,  I  and  he  I  made  it : 
{d)  Psalm  xcv.  5. 

and  his  h^nds  pre- 1 -pared  •  the  I  dry  I  land. 

4.  If  there  are  four  syllables  in  the  initial  bar,  there  are  placed  over  them 
four  crotchets,  or  their  equivalent  value  ;  e.rj. — 

(rt)  Te  Deum.  4. 

To  thee  Ch^r-ub-im  and  I  Ser-aph-l-im  : 
lb)  Psalm  il  1. 

Why  do  the  heathen  so  fu-rf-ous-ly  I  rage  to-l-gether  : 
(c;  Psalm  xix.  4. 

and  their  words  in-to  the  I  ends  I  of  the  I  world. 

(d)  Psalm  xii.  2. 

They  talk  of  vanity  ev-er-y  one  I  with  his  I  neighbour  : 

5.  In  the  rare  cases  in  which  there  are  five  syllables  in  the  initial  bar,  there 
is  placed  over  them  the  equivalent  of  four  crotchets — viz.,  either, 

{a    a  triplet  of  crotchets  and  two  crotchets  (or  their  equivalent  ;  or, 

(6)  two  crotchets  (or  their  equivalent)  and  a  triplet  of  crotchets  ;  e.g. — 

(a)  Psalm  cxviii.  18. 

The  Lord  hath  chast-en-ed  and*  cor-l-rect-ed  |  me  : 
ib)  Psalm  lxix.  20. 

mine  ad-ver-sar-ies  are  I  all  in  I  thy  I  sight. 

6.  It  should  be  noted  that  when  the  first  note  in  the  initial  bar  is  a  crotchet,  it 
should  be  touched  as  h^^itl.v  as  possible,  and  not  dwelt  upon  at  all,  any  more 
than  one  would  dwell  upon  the  first  crotchet  in  a  bar  of  Common  Time.  Its 
position  in  the  bar  gives  it  the  required  emphasis.  To  dweU  on  the  first 
crotchet  in  fuch  cases  invariably  and  indeed  inevitably  causes  a  deplorable 
huddhng  toi^ether  of  the  remaining  syllables  in  the  bar. 

7.  It  is  of  the  utmost  importance,  for  the  sake  of  smoothness  in  chanting, 
that  no  break  or  pause  should  occur  between  the  words  which  belong  to  the 
recitation-note  and  those  in  the  initial  bar,  unless  circumstances  demand  it,  as 
is  sometimes  the  case  ;  e.g. — 

Psalm  l.  22. 

0  consider  this,  ye'  that  for- 1 -get  I  God  : 

8.  AVhen  a  verse  or  half-verse  begins  with  the  initial  bar,  it  is  evident  that 
there  is  no  recitation,  but  that  the  rhythmical  music  begins  at  once ;  e.g. — 

Psalm  cxxxii.  1. 

L^rd,"  re-l-niem-l»er  I  David  : 


^  PREFACE. 


Should  the  initial  bar  contain,  by  the  necessity'  of  the  case,  one  syllable  only, 
such  as  in  ordinary  recitation  would  be  unaccented,  care  must  be  taken  to  give 
it  as  little  stress  and  prominence  as  possible ;  e.g. — 

Psalm  cxix.  106. 

to  I  keep  thy  I  right-eous  I  judgments. 

9.  A  hyphen  (or  dot)  is  placed  between  syllables  belonging  to  the  initial  bar, 
and  the  second  (or  third)  bar  in  the  rhythmical  music,  to  make  it  clear  to  which 
note  or  notes  the  syllables  should  go  ;  e.g. — 

Psalm  xlv.  15. 

I  raiment  •  of  I  needlework  :  not  I  rai-ment  of  I  needlework  : 

10.  Horizontal  lines  show  that  the  preceding  syllable  should  be  continued 
for  the  space  indicated ;  e.g. — 

Psalm  cxvii.  2. 

Praise  I  —  I  —  the  I  Lord. 

With  reference  to  the  foregoing  rules,  it  must  be  remembered  that  written 
signs  in  their  very  nature  indicate  but  imperfectly  the  expressive  elasticity 
which  intelligence  and  feeling  demand.  They  are  too  often  applied  and 
observed  with  a  dull  mechanical  precision,  which  in  all  music,  especially  in 
chanting,  where  free  recitation  is  closely  combined  with  strict  rhythm,  is  fatal 
to  proper  and  pleasing  effect.  In  truth,  the  arts,  both  of  pointing  and  chanting, 
like  other  arts, 'if  they  are  to  be  perfected,  must  be  exercised  "  with  brains." 

Great  care  has  been  taken  to  make  the  task  of  chanting  as  easy  as  may  be. 
At  the  same  time,  the  Editor  cannot  but  point  out  that  ease  in  performance  is  not 
the  first  or  the  only  object  to  be  aimed  at.  Intelligent,  expressive,  and  reverent 
chanting  is  what  should  be  sought  after,  and  as  far  as  possible  attained. 

It  will  be  observed  that  both  verses  and  half- verses  begin  with  separate  lines. 

By  almost  universal  custom,  whole  verses  are  taken  by  Decani  and  Cantoris 
alternately. 

Certain  Psalms  have  been  specified  as  requiring  Triple  Chants  for  their 
adequate  nuisical  interpretation.  It  will  probably  be  found  most  satisfactory  to 
assign  each  group  of  three  verses  to  Decani  and  Cantoris  respectively. 

In  many  Psalms,  when  the  parallel  or  the  antithesis  occurs  between  the  two 
halves  of  one  verse,  the  assignment  of  each  separate  half  to  Decani  and 
Cantoris  respectively  would  bring  out  correspondences  and  contrasts  mo»t 
vividly.  This  arrangement,  however,  is  suggested  as  an  alternative  only,  and 
that  in  the  more  obvious  cases.  If  preferred,  it  may  be  dispensed  with,  and  the 
ordinary  method  be  adhered  to. 

It  cannot  be  expected  that  everyone  will  agi'ee,  in  every  case,  with  the 
conclusions  at  which  the  Editor  has  arrived  with  respect  to  the  several  matters 
touched  upon  in  this  Preface,  points  which  leave  room,  many  of  them,  for 
legitimate  variety  of  opinion,  and  are  extremely  difVieult  to  decide,  after  the 
most  thonghtful  and  even  anxious  deliberation.  But  the  Editor  trusts  that  this 
Psalter  may  be  regarded  as  a  careful  and  considerate  contribution  towards  the 
advancement  of  a  progressive  sacred  art,  which  should  be  studied  and  practised, 
not  by  the  few  only,  but  by  the  many. 


BRIEF   NOTES  ON  THE   PSALTER. 


The  Version  of  the  Psalms  is  that  set  forth  by  the  General  Convention  of  1892. 

The  150  Psalms  comprised  in  the  Psalter  are  in  the  Hebrew  Bible  divided 
into  five  Books,  the  close  of  each  of  the  first  four  Books  being  marked  by  a 
Doxology.  Psalm  150  may  be  regarded  as  the  Doxology  which  marks  the 
close  of  the  fifth  Book,  and  of  the  whole  Psalter. 

Book  I.  contains  Psalms  1-41  (41)  ;  Book  II.,  Psalms  42-72  (31)  ;  Book  III., 
Psalms  73-89  (17) ;  Book  IV.,  Psahns 90-106  (17)  ;  Book  V.,  Psalms  107-150  (44). 

The  Psalter,  as  we  know  it,  is  evidently  a  compilation,  made  up  of  smaller 
collections. 

It  is  generally  held  that  there  are  in  the  Psalter  at  least  three  principal 
collections. 

The  earliest  collection  consists  of  the  forty-one  Psalms  which  are  contained 
in  the  first  Book,  "  few  of  which,"  ssljs  Bishop  Perowne,  "  can  be  certainly 
assumed  to  be  later  than  the  time  of  David."  It  is  conjectm-ed  that  this 
collection  was  originally  made  by  Solomon,  or  under  his  direction,  and  may 
have  received  a  few  additions  at  a  later  period. 

The  second  collection  consists  of  the  forty-eight  Psalms  which  are  contained 
in  the  second  and  third  Books,  a  collection  not  completed,  it  is  supposed,  until 
the  time  of  Hezekiah,  who  reigned  some  300  years  after  Solomon.  These  Psalms 
mainly  belong  to  what  is  usually  called  the  middle  period  of  Hebrew  poetry. 

The  third  collection  consists  of  the  sixty-one  Psalms  which  are  contained  in 
the  fom'th  and  fifth  Books.  Most  of  these  Psalms  were  probably  written  during 
or  after  the  Captivity.  They  were  added  to  the  Psalter,  it  is  generally  thought, 
in  the  times  of  Ezra  and  Nehemiah,  300  years  after  the  days  of  Hezekiah,  and 
little  more  than  400  years  B.C.,  the  gradual  formation  of  the  whole  Psalter  thus 
extending  over  some  six  centuries. 

Incorporated  in  these  three  principal  collections  are  found  various  minor 
groups  of  Psalms.  Of  the  forty-one  Psalms  in  the  first  Book,  thirty-seven 
bear  the  name  of  David.  In  the  second  Book  there  is  a  series  of  eighteen 
Davidic  Psalms,  supplementary  to  the  longer  series  in  the  first  Book.  The 
second  Book  also  contains  a  series  of  seven  Psalms  which  bear  the  name  of  the 
"  Sons  of  Korah,"  one  of  the  three  Levitical  Temple  Choirs.  The  chief  of 
the  "  Sons  of  Korah"  in  the  time  of  David  was  Heman,  to  whom  the  88th 
Psalm  is  specially  ascribed.  Heman  was  one  of  David's  three  principal 
singers,  and  is  said  to  be  descended  (see  I.  Chr.  vi.  33-38)  from  Kohath 
the  second  son  of  Levi.  One  Psalm  in  the  second  Book,  Psalm  50,  is  ascribed 
to  Asaph,  the  foremost  of  David's  three  principal  singers,  who  is  said  to  be 
descended  {see  I.  Chr.  vi.  39-43)  from  Gershom,  the  eldest  of  the  three  sons  of 
Levi.  In  the  third  Book  there  is  a  series  of  eleven  Psahns  which  bear  the 
name  of  Asaph,  and  a  short  series  of  four  ascribed  to  the  "  Sons  of  Korah,"  sup- 
plementary to  the  longer  series  in  the  second  Book.     There  is  also  one  Psalm, 


viii  BRIEF  NOTES  OX  THE  PSALTER, 

Psalm  89,  which  bears  the  name  of  Ethan,  the  third  of  David's  three  principal 
singers.  Ethan,  called  also  Jeduthun  (sec  I.  Chr.  xxv.  1,  3,  and  the  titles  of 
Psalms  39,  62,  77),  is  said  to  be  descended  {see  I.  Chr.  vi.  44-47)  from  Merari, 
the  youngest  son  of  Levi.  In  the  fourth  Book  there  is  a  series  of  ten  anonymous 
Psalms,  mostly  liturgical.  In  the  fifth  Book  is  incorporated  the  series  of  fifteen 
"Songs  of  Degrees"  (or  "Ascents"  or  "Goings  up"),  or  "Pilgrim  songs," 
Psalms  120-134,  and  a  group  of  Psalms  evidently  intended  for  use  in  the  Temyle 
worship,  in  most  of  which  "  Hallelujah  "  occurs  either  at  the  beginning  or  the 
end.  Psalms  113-118  constitute  "The  Hallel  "  which  was  sung  at  the  three 
great  Feasts,  at  the  Feast  of  Dedication,  and  at  the  New  Moon.  In  the  fifth 
Book  there  are  28  anonymous  Psalms. 

The  titles  of  the  Psalms,  which  are  taken  from  the  Hebrew  Bible,  relate 
either  to  the  authorship,  the  historical  circumstances,  the  purpose,  the  musical 
accompaniment,  or  the  liturgical  character  of  the  Psalm  ;  but  they  cannot  be 
regarded  as  being  of  any  necessary  authority,  and  in  many  instances,  especially 
with  reject  to  authorship  and  historical  circumstances,  are  of  doubtful 
traditional  value.  Out  of  the  150  Psahns,  seventy-three  bear  in  the  title  the 
name  of  David,  twenty-four  those  of  David's  Levitical  singers,  two  (Psalms  72 
and  127)  that  of  Solomon,  one  (Psalm  90)  that  of  Moses,  while  fifty  Psalms, 
one-third  of  the  whole,  are  anonymous. 

The  word  "  Psalm  "  means  a  song  sung  to  a  musical  accompaniment,  but 
into  the  debatable  subject  of  Hebrew  music  this  is  not  the  place  to  enter. 

There  are  in  the  Psalter  7  Acrostic  or  Alphabetical  Psalms  (or  9,  if  we  include 
Psalms  9  and  10,  in  which  there  is  a  trace  of  the  alphabetical  arrangement). 
These  are  Psalms  25,  34,  37,  111,  112,  119  (the  most  perfect  example),  and  145. 
In  these  Psalms  the  first  lino  or  verse  or  portion  begins  with  the  first  letter  of 
the  Hebrew  Alphabet,  the  other  letters  following  at  the  beginning  of  each 
successive  division.  The  alphabetical  order  is  not,  however,  always  rigidly 
observed.  There  are  also  seven  Psalms  which  for  more  than  1,600  years  have  been 
known  as  the  Penitential  Psalms.  These  are  Psalms  6,  32,  38,  51,  102,  130,  143. 
All  the  Penitential  Psalms  are  appointed  to  be  sung  on  Ash  Wednesday,  Psalms 
6,  32,  38  at  Morning  Prayer,  Psalms  102,  130,  143  at  Evening  Prayer,  and 
Psalm  51  in  the  Commination  Service. 


BOOK     I. 

Psalm    1. — The  blessedness  of  the  righteous,  and  the  misery  of  the  wicked. 

A  suitable  introduction  or  prologue  to  the  first  Book,  or  (as  it  may 
be  regarded)  to  the  whole  Psalter. 

Psalm  2. — A  dramatic  narrative,  through  the  mouths  of  different  speakers,  of 
an  invasion  or  a  rebellion. 

Psalm    3. — A  Morning  Hymn  in  time  of  danger  and  distress. 

IsALM    4. — An  Evening  Hymn,  composed  under  circumstances  such  as  those 
which  gave  rise  to  Psalm  3. 
It  is  conjectured  that  Psalms  3  and  4  may  have  been  written  by 
David  on  the  same  day,  when  he  fied  from  Absalom. 

P«alm    5. — A  Morning  Prayer  for  deliverance  from  the  plots  of  secret  enemies. 

Psalm  6. — The  first  of  the  Penitential  Psalms.  A  cry  for  mercy  in  time  of 
sickness  and  persecution,  issuing  in  the  certainty  of  being  heard 
and  answered,

the  dark  present  looks  forward  with  joy  to  the  bright  future." — 
Perowne. 

Psalm  18. — A   Song,   presenting  the  story,  told   by   himself  in    a   few   grand 
outlines,  of  David's   life,   his    sufferings,  dangers,   deliverances, 
victories,   blessings ;  beginning  and  ending  with  joyful  thanks- 
giving, and  an  acknowledgment  of  God's  loving  mercy.

BRIEF  NOTES  ON  THE  PSALTER, 


Psalm  24. — A  majestic  Choral  Hymn,  commonly  supposed  to  have  been  com- 
posed for  and  sung  upon  the  occasion  of  the  removal  of  the  Ark  to 
Zion  (see  II.  Sam.  vi.  12-19). 

Psalm  25. — An  Acrostic  or  Alphabetical  Psalm.  A  prayer  for  instruction  and 
forgiveness.  The  last  verse  is  probably  not  part  of  the  original 
Psalm,  but  is  a  later  addition. 

Psalm  26. — An  expression  of  conscious  uprightness,  and  of  a  desire  to  be  separate 
from  evil  men. 

Psalm  27. — An  expression  of  assured  confidence  in  God,  and  an  earnest  cry  for 
present  help  and  comfort. 

Psalm  28. — A  prayer  for  deliverance  from  the  wicked,  and  for  their  righteous 
punishmenjfc,  followed  by  thanksgiving,  and  an  acknowledgment 
of  God  as  the  Saviour  of  both  king  and  people. 
Psalms  26,  27,  and  28  are  referred  to  the  time  of  Absalom's  rebellion. 
They  have  many  characteristics  in  common. 

Psalm  29. — The  praise  of  Jehovah  in  the  thunderstorm. 

Psalm  30. — "  A  song  of  the  dedication  of  the  house."  A  Psalm  of  thanksgiving 
composed  after  recovery  from  dangerous  illness. 

Psalm  31. — "  An  earnest  prayer  for  deliverance  from  trouble,  animated  through- 
out by  a  lively  trust  and  hope  in  God." — Ferowne. 

Psalm  32. — The  second  of  the  Penitential  Psalms,   A  record  of  confession  made, 

forgiveness    obtained,    and    restoration    to    his    Father's   house 

assured.     Compare  Prov.  xxviii.  13  ;  I.  John  i.  8-9. 

"  There    can   be    little   doubt,"  says   Bishop  Perowne,  "  that  this 

Psalm  was  composed  by  David  after  Nathan  came  to  him."     It 

'■  is  probably  later  in  point  of  time  than  the  confession  and  prayer  for 

forgiveness  contained  in  Psalm  51. 

Psalm  33. — "  The  celebration  of  God  as  the  God  of  creation,  providence,  and 
grace." 

Psalm  34. — An  Acrostic  or  Alphabetical  Psalm.  A  grateful  acknowledgment 
of  God's  providence,  and  of  tlis  moral  government  of  the  world. 

Psalm  35. — A  cry  for  assistance  against  enemies,  and  for  their  confusion.  A 
contrast  between  the  Psalmist's  love  and  their  hatred."  An  appeal 
to  God  against  their  craft  and  wickedness,  and  again  a  cry  for 
their  confusion.  Each  of  the  three  divisions  of  the  Psalm  closes 
with  thanksgiving. 

Psalm  36. — A  picture  of  remorseless  wickedness,  followed  by  an  acknowledg- 
ment of  the  protection  afforded  by  the  love  and  faithfulness  of 
God,  which  the  Psalmist  praj's  may  be  continued  to  him. 

Psalm  37. — An  Acrostic  or  Alphabetical  Psalm,  exceedingly  regular  in  structure. 
A  vindication  of  the  righteousness  of  God's  providence  in  the 
government  of  the  world. 

Psalm  38. — The  third  of  the  Penitential  Psalms,  A  recital  of  bitter  suffering, 
both  in  mind  and  body,  probably  intenaed  for  use  on  a  day  of 
humiliation. 

Psalm  39.—"  The  most  beautiful  of  all  tlie  elegies  in  the  Psalter." — EivalcU 


BRIEF  NOTES  ON  THE  PSALTER.  xi 


Psalm  40. — "  The  storv  of  God's  mercies  in  a  former  time  of  trouble  ;  and  a  cry 
for  the  like  help  and  deliverance,  now  that  fresh  calamaties  are 
come." — Perowne. 
vv.  16-21  are  repeated  in  Book  II.  as  Psalm  70. 

i'SALM  41. — A  Psalm  written  after  recovery  from  sickness,  under  a  sense  of  the 
hypocrisy  of  false  friends.  The  last  verse  is  not  part  of  the 
orij^inal  Psalm,  but  a  Doxology  inserted  when  the  collection  was 
made,  or  in  later  times,  in  order  to  mark  the  conclusion  of  the 
First  Book. 

BOOK    II. 

Psalms  42  and  43. — "There  are  good  grounds,"  says  Bishop  Perowne,  "for 
concluding  that  these  two  Psalms  constituted  originally  but  one 
poem.  .  .  .  On  the  other  hand,  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  each 
Psalm  is  complete  in  itself;  and  it  is  conceivable  that  though 
originally  existing  as  one  poem,  the  present  arrangement  might 
have  been  adopted,  the  better  to  suit  the  purposes  either  of 
personal  or  liturgical  use." 

Psalm  42  expresses  the  longing  of  the  soul  after  God  and  the  service 
of  His  sanctuary.  There  is  an  oppressive  sense  of  distance  from 
God,  and  of  the  loss  of  His  presence. 

Psalm  43  is  more  hopeful  in  tone,  especially  towards  the  close. 
The  same  refrain  occurs  in  Psalm  42,  vv.  6,  7,  and  14,  15  ;  and 
in  Psalm  43*,  vv.  5,  6,  marking  the  divisions  of  the  poem. 

Psalm  44. — A  contrast  between  the  painful  present  and  the  glorious  past.  A 
plea  of  faithfulness  to  God,  and  a  praj'er  for  His  renewed  favour. 

Psalm  45. — A  marriage  song  for  a  Jewish  king  and  a  foreign  princess. 
Compare  vv.  7-8  with  Heb.  i.  8-9. 

Psalms  46,  47,  and  48. —  Songs  of  triumph  composed  on  the  occasion  of  some 
great  national  deliverance.  It  has  been  conjectured  that  they  all 
celebrate  the  same  event,  the  destruction  of  the  army  of  Senna- 
cherib before  the  walls  of  Jerusalem. 

Psalm  49. — "  A  vindication  of  the  ways  of  God,  in  view  of  the  different  fortunes 
of  the  righteous  and  the  wicked  in  this  world." — Peroivne. 

Psalm  50. — A  description  of  the  scene  of  the  judgment  of  God  in  Zion,  followed 

by  an  exposition  of  the  true  nature  of  the  service  and  worship 

which  God  requires  from  man. 
Psalm  51. — The  fourth  of  the  Penitential  Psalms.     The  expression  of  a  deep 

and  true  repentance. 
The  last  two  verses  are  probably  not  part  of  the  original  Psalm,  but 

a  later  addition. 

Psalm  52. — A  stern,  courageous,  and  faithful  rebuke  to  the  evil-doer,  closing 
with  an  expression  of  confidence  and  thankfulness. 

Psalm  53. — Another  version  of  Psalm  14  (see  the  note  on  that  Psalm). 

Psalm  54. — A  Psalm  composed  in  time  of  peril. 

Psalm  55. — A  bitter  complaint  of  the  faithlessness  of  a  trusted  friend. 

Ps-alms  56  and  57. — "  The  complaint  of  one  who,  though  hard  pressed  by 
enemies,  nevertheless  trusts  in  God,  rests  in  His  promises,  flies 
to  Him  for  succour,  and  renders  thanks  for  His  mercy." — 
Perowne. 


xii  BRIEF  NOTES  OX  THE  PSALTER. 

Psalm  58. — A  bold  and  indignant  protest  against  unrighteous  judges. 

Psalm  59. — A  Psalm  composed  when  some  attack  had  been  threatened  or  made 
against  the  life  of  the  writer. 

Psalm  60. — According  to  the  title,  this  Psalm  was  composed  b^-  David  to  cele- 
brate the  victory  of  Joab  over  the  Edomites  in  the  valley  of  salt 
(see  2  Sam.  viii.  13). 

Psalm  61. — The  expression  of  an  ardent  longing  to  dwell  in  the  sanctuary  of 
God,  and  of  hopes  concerning  the  king. 

Psalm  62. — A  contrast  between  the  wisdom  and  blessedness  of  trust  in  God,  and 
the  folly  of  trust  in  man. 
Compare  the  phraseology  of  this  Psalm  with  that  of  Psalm  39. 

Psalm  63. — "  The  spirit  and  soul  of  the  whole  Book  of  Psalms  is  contracted  into 
this  Psahii." — St.  Clirysostoin. 
*•  A  beautiful  and  touching  expression  of  the  longing  of  the  heart  for 
•  God,  and   the  joy  of  the   heart   in  communion  with  Him." — 
Perowne. 

Psalm  64. — A  graphic  description  of  the  plots  of  evil  men  against  the  Psalmist's 

life. 
Psalm  65. — A  Harvest  Hymn  in  a  year  of  abundance. 

Psalm  66  — The  celebration  of  the  great  things  which  God  has  done  on  behalf 
of  His  people,  and  an  invitation  to  all  nations  to  join  in  giving 
Him  thanks. 

Psalm  67. — A  Liturgical  Psalm,  expressive  of  a  hope  that  the  God  of  Israel  will 
be  acknowledged  and  worshipped  by  the  world  in  general. 
Compare  vv.  1,  6,  7  with  the   High    Priest's  blessing  in  Num.  vi. 
24-26. 

Psalm  68. — This   grand   hymn    describes,   under  figures    borrowed   from  the 

triumph  of  an  earthly  conqueror,  the    entry  of  God   into  His 

Sanctuary  on   Mount  Zion,  there  to  reign,  acknowledged  and 
feared  by  all  nations. 

Psalm  69. — As  in  Psalms  35  and  109,  there  is  a  sense  here  of  grievous  wrong, 
innocence  unjustly  persecuted,  and  a  fiery  indignation  against 
the  persecutors. 

Psalm  70. — A  repetition,  with  some  variations,  of  the  last  six  verses  of 
Psalm  40. 

Psalm  71. —  It  has  been  conjectured  that  this  Psalm  maj'  have  been  written  by 
Je.emiah  in  his  old  age.  For  many  expressions  in  the  Psalm, 
couipiire  Psalms  22,  31,  35,  and  40.  The  Psalmist  tells  the  story 
of  the  past,  and  looks  forward  to  the  future  with  hope. 

Psalm  72. — This  Psalm,  like  the  20th,  21st,  and  45th,  is  a  Royal  Psalm,  invoking 
God  to  grant  the  King  a  reign  of  righteousness,  peace,  prosperity, 
and  world-wide  dominion. 

BOOK    III. 

Psalm  73. — This  Psalm  is  parallel  with  the  37th,  and  is  concerned  with  the  same 
perplexing  problem,  AVhy  should  good  men  suffer,  and  bad  men 
prosper  ?  The  Psalmist  recounts  the  dcnibts  and  temptations 
which  had  assailed  him,  confesses  their  sinfulness,  and  explains 
how  he  had  been  enabled  to  overcome  them. 


BRIEF  NOTES  OX  THE  PSALTER.  xiii 

Psalm  74. — Both  this  Psahii  and  the  79th  are  held  to  refer  to  the  same  national 
calamity,  the  rejection  of  the  people  by  God,  the  occupation  of 
Jerusalem  by  a  foreij]:n  army,  the  profanation  ai-«d  destruction  of 
the  Temple,  and  the  ^jreat  slaughter  of  the  inhabitants  of  Jeru- 
salem. The  two  Psalms  are  generally  connected  with  the 
invasion  of  Nebuchadnezzar,  or  (by  some)  with  the  oppression  of 
Antiochus  Epiphanes. 

Psalm  7.j. — A  thanksgiving  for  the  righteous  judgment  of  God. 

Psalm  7(5. — This  Psalm,  it  is  held,  is  one  of  several  Psalms. which  were  written 
to  celebrate  the  overthrow  of  the  army  of  Sennacherib. 

Psalm  77. — The  expression  of  personal  sorrow  and  disquietude,  and  of  relief 
brought  by  reflection  on  the  deliverance  God  had  granted  His 
people. 

Psalm  78. — In  this  Psalm,  the  longest  of  the  Historical  Psalms,  the  history  of 
Israel  is  briefly  recapitulated,  from  the  time  of  the  Exodus  to  the 
accession  of  David,  with  the  view  of  rebuking  the  sin,  the  ingrati- 
tude, and  the  rebellion  of  the  people  {see  Perowne). 

Psalm  79. — Compare  note  on  Psalm  74. 

Psalm  80. — Another  of  the  Historical  Psalms,  written  at  a  time  of  great  disaster, 
when  the  nation  was  held  down  by  foreign  invaders.  A  prayer 
for  deliverance  occurs  frequently. 

Psalm  81. — A  Psalm  for  use  at  a  Festival,  putting  in  its  true  light  the  national 

joy- 

Psalm  82. — "  This  Psalm  is  a  solemn  rebuke,  addressed  in  prophetic  strains  to 
those  who,  pledged  by  their  office  to  uphold  the  Law,  had  trampled 
upon  it  for  their  own  selfish  ends." — Perowne. 

Psalm  83. — A  prayer,  founded  on  God's  former  acts  on  His  people's  behalf,  for 
deliverance  from  the  enemies  who  are  threatening  Judah. 

Psalm  84. — It  is  conjectm-ed  that  this  Psalm  is  from  the  same  hand  as  Psalms  42 
and  43,  and  was  written  under  similar  circumstances. 

Psalm  85. — An  acknowledgment  of  the  mercy  and  goodness  of  God  in  restoring 
the  nation  after  the  Captivity.  It  is  supposed  that  the  two  prmcipal 
divisions  of  the  Psalm  were  intended  to  be  sung  by  the  congre- 
gation and  the  Priest  respectively. 

Psalm  86. — A  number  of  earnest  petitions,  based  on  several  grounds,  and  an 
expression  of  fearless  confidence  in  the  mercv  and  goodness  of 
God. 

Psalm  87. — A  remarkable  anticipation  of  the  union  and  brotherhood  of  nations, 
which  is  fulfilled  in  the  kingdom  of  Christ  alone. 

Psalm  88. — The  outpouring  of  a  burdened  heart  before  God.  Avhich  in  this  Psalm 
alone  fails  to  bring  relief  and  consolation.  It  is  appointed  as  one 
of  the  Proper  Psalms  for  Good  Friday. 

Psalm  89. — A  recital  of  the  "  faithfulness  of  God  "  in  the  past,  in  contrast  with 
the  disasters  and  the  disappointment  of  the  present,  issuing  in 
an  appeal  to  God  against  the  *'  reproach  "  of  His  enemies. 


xiv  BRIEF  NOTES  ON  THE  PSALTER. 


BOOK     IV. 

Psalm  90. — "  A  prayer  of  Moses  the  man  of  God."  "  The  90th  Psalm  might  be 
cited  as  perhaps  the  most  sublime  of  human  compositions,  the 
deepest  in  feeling,  the  loftiest  in  theological  conception,  the  most 
magnificent  in  its  imagery." — Isaac  Taylor.  The  Psalm  consists 
of  a  meditation  on  the  eternity^  of  God,  contrasted  with  the 
frailty  and  transitoriness  of  man,  followed  by  a  praj'er  that  God 
would  in  His  compassion  give  them  joy  in  sorrow. 

Psalm  91. — The  celebration  of  the  loving  and  watchful  care  of  God,  and  the 
peace  and  safety^  of  those  who  find  their  refuge  in  Him. 

Psalm  92. — "A  Song  for  the  Sabbath  Day,"  appointed  to  be  used  in  the  Temple 
Service  on  that  day.  The  Psalm  is  an  acknowledgment  of  the 
greatness  of  God's  works,  and  of  His  righteous  government  of  the 
world.     Compare  Psalms  1,  37,  49,  73. 

Psalm  93. — It  has  been  w  ell  pointed  out  that  the  words  in  Psalm  92,  v.  8,  "  Thou, 
Lord,  art  the  most  Highest  for  evermore,"  sum  up  the  teaching  of 
this  Psalm. 

Psalm  94. — "  A  Lyric  Psalm  for  the  fourth  day  of  the  week."  An  appeal  to  God 
against  tyrannical  and  unrighteous  rulers  and  judges,  followed  by 
the  expression  of  calm  confidence  in  the  final  manifestation  of 
the  righteousness  of  God. 

Psalm  95. — This  Psalm  is  another  of  the  Liturgical  series  (Psalms  92-100), 
intended  for  use  in  the  Temple  Service.  Like  Psalm  81,  it  was 
probably  composed  for  some  Festival.  In  Christian  liturgies  it 
has  been  commonly  called  the  Invitatory  Psalm,  and  has  been 
used  as  such  from  a  very  remote  period.  It  contains  an  invitation 
to  sing  joyfully  to  God,  and  a  warning  against  unbelief  and 
disobedience. 

Psalms  96,  97,  98. — These  Psalms  have  for  their  subject  the  prophetic  anticipa- 
tion of  "  the  last  great  revelation,  the  final  victory  of  God,  when 
His  salvation  and  righteousness,  the  revelation  of  which  He  has 
promised  to  the  house  of  Israel,  shall  be  manifested  both  to  His 
own  people  and  to  all  the  nations  of  the  earth." 

Psalm  99. — This  Psalm  is  the  last  of  the  series  (Psalms  93-99)  in  which  is 
celebrated  the  coming  and  the  establishment  of  the  Kingdom  of 
Jehovah.  The  Psalms  were  probably  suggested  by  the  restoration 
of  the  people  to  their  own  land,  after  the  Captivity. 

Psalm  100. — "  A  Psalm  of  Praise,"  closely  connected  wdth  the  preceding  series 
of  Liturgical  Psalms,  of  which  it  may  be  regarded  as  forming  the 
concluding  Doxology. 

Psalm  101. — "  The  godly  purposes  and  resolves  of  a  King." 

Psalm  102.— The  fifth  of  the  Penitential  Psalms.  The  title  is  peculiar  :  **  A  prayer 
of  the  afilicted,  when  he  is  overwhelmed,  and  before  Jehovah 
pourethout  his  complaint,"  describing  the  character  of  the  Psalm. 
The  Psalm  is  rather  for  private  than  public  use.  It  was  probably 
written  towards  the  close  of  the  Captivity  by  an  exile  whose  mind 
alternated  between  the  bitterness  of  his  own  lot  and  the  prospect 
of  Zion's  deliverance. 
Compare  vv.  25-27  with  Heb.  i.  10-12. 


BRIEF  NOTES  OX  THE  PSALTER.  xv 


Psalm  103. — An  outponrin.2:  of  thanks  to  God  for  His  ^race  and  mercy,  shown 
both  to  the  i'yahuist  himself  and  to  the  natit)n  ihroiigliout  then' 
history. 

Psalm  104. — "  This  Psalm  paints  for  ns,"  says  Calvin,  "in  the  frame  of  the  world, 
and  the  order  of  nature,  the  living  image  of  God's  wisdom,  power, 
and  goodness,  and  exhorts  us  to  praise  Him,  because  in  this  our 
frail  mortal  life  He  manifests  Himself  to  us  as  a  Father." 

Psalms  105  and  106. — These  I'salms,  like  the  78th,  treat  of  the  early  history  of 
Israel,  and  of  the  wonders  which  God  wrought  on  their  behalf; 
but  while  Psalm  78  is  didactic,  the  105th  Psalm  recounts  the 
mighty  acts  of  the  Lord  as  the  ground  of  thankfulness,  and  the 
reason  for  future  obedience.  The  106th  Psalm,  on  the  other 
hand,  is  a  Psalm  of  confession  and  penitence.  It  also  deals  with 
the  history  of  the  past,  but  as  a  history  of  Israel's  sin. 
Psalm  105,  vv.  1-15  are  found,  with  slight  variations,  in  I.  Chr.  xvi. 
8-22,  as  the  first  part  of  the  festal  song  which  "  David  delivered  into 
the  hands  of  Asaph  and  his  brethren  to  thank  the  Lord,"  when 
the  Ark  w^as  carried  up  to  Mount  Zion.  The  next  part  of  that 
festal  song  is  Psalm  96,  then  Psalm  107,  v.  1,  and  it  closes  with 
verses  45  and  46  of  Psalm  106,  the  latter  of  which  is  the  Doxology 
at  the  end  of  Book  IV. 

BOOK    V. 

Psalm  107. — A  description  of  various  incidents  and  perils  of  human  life,  and  of 
the  goodness  of  God  in  delivering  men  therefrom.  The  Psalm 
teaches  that  God's  providence  watches  over  men,  and  that  prayers 
even  for  temporal  deliverance  are  heard  and  answered. 

Psalm  108. — This  Psalm  is  made  up  of  portions  of  two  others,  Psalm  57,  vv. 
8-12,  and  Psalm  60,  vv.  6-12. 

Psalm  109. — This  is  the  last  and  the  most  terrible  of  the  Psalms  of  imprecation, 
differing  from  the  35th  and  the  69th,  not  only  in  being  directed 
against  one  enemy  chiefly,  rather  than  against  many,  but  also  in 
the  highly-wrought  and  detailed  character  of  the  execration. 

Psalm  110. — Dean  Johnson,  in  the  "  Speaker's  Commentary,"  thus  describes 
this  Psalm  :  "  A  mighty  Prince,  sitting  at  the  right  hand  of  God, 
and  the  associate  of  His  power,  wages  a  fearful  w^ar  against  the 
enemies  of  both.  He  is  accompanied  to  battle  by  an  innumerable 
host  of  comrade  warriors  clad  in  the  vestments  of  holiness,  as  befits 
the  followers  of  a  Prince.  For  He  is  a  Priest  after  the  order  of 
iMelchizedek  ;  not  for  a  brief  life,  as  priests  under  the  law,  but  for 
ever.  The  Psalmist  foretells  to  this  incomparable  Captain, 
through  the  aid  of  Jehovah,  a  victory  over  His  enemies,  over 
princes  and  peoples,  everywhere,  opposed  to  Him,  and  portrays 
His  vigour  in  the  fight,  and  perseverance,  till  no  enemy 
remains." 

Compare  v,  1  with  St.  Matt.  xxii.  44  ;   St.  Mark  xii.  36;   St.  Luke 
XX.  42  ;   and  v.  4  with  Heb.  v.  6,  and  vii.  17. 

Psalms  111  and  112. — Acrostic  or  Alphabetical  Psalms.  In  Psalm  111  the 
mighty  \\orks,  glory,  and  righteousness  of  God  are  celebrated  ; 
in  Psalm  112  the  righteousness  and  blessedness  of  the  upright 
are  described. 


xvi  BRIEF  NOTES  ON  THE  PSALTER. 

Psalm  IIB. — The  first  rsalm  of  "the  Hallel."  A  call  to  praise  God,  and  an 
acknowledgment  of  His  greatness  and  kindness. 

Psalm  114. — A  description  of  the  Exodus,  given  with  singular  poetic  and  even 
dramatic  skill. 

Psalm  115. — A  Liturgical  Psalm,  probably  composed  soon  after  the  Restoration, 
with  the  memory  of  the  oppression  and  the  idolatries  of  the 
heathen  fresh  in  the  minds  of  the  people.  It  has  been  conjectured 
that  this  Psalm  was  intended  to  be  sung  while  the  sacrifices  were 
being  offered. 

Psalm  116. — A  thanksgiving  by  one  who  has  been  in  peril  of  death,  for  the 
deliverance  which  God  has  vouchsafed  to  him,  a  confession  of  the 
gi'eatness  of  his  debt,  and  of  the  obligation  which  it  lays  upon 
him. 

Psalm  117. — The  shortest  of  the  Psalms.  Probably  a  Doxology  to  be  used 
after  other  Psalms,  or  at  the  beginning  or  the  end  of  the  Temple 
Service. 

Psalm  IIH. — A  Liturgical  Psalm,  composed  for  use  in  the  Temple  at  some 
Festival.  There  is  little  doubt  the  construction  points  to  anti- 
phonal  singing. 

Psalm  119. — The  longest  and   most  elaborate  of  the  Acrostic  or  Alphabetical 

I'salms. 
The    Psalm    is    arranged    in    22    stanzas,    corresponding   to    the 

number  of  letters  in  the  Hebrew  alphabet.     Each  stanza  contains 

H  verses,  each  beginning  with  the  same  letter  of  the  alphabet. 

For  example,   each   of  the  first  8  verses  begins  with  A  (Aleph), 

each  of  the  next  8  verses  with  B  ipjeth),  and  so  on. 
The  main  subject  of  the  Psalm  is  the  praise  of  the  Law  of  God, 

"  an  elaborate  expansion,"  as  it  has  been  called,  "  of  the  latter  part 

of  Psalm  19." 

Psalm  120. — This  is  the  first  of  the  fifteen  Psalms  called  in  the  Authorised 
Version  "  Songs  of  Degrees,"  more  accurately,  "  Songs  of 
Ascents,  or  Goings-up,"  or  "  Pilgrim  Songs."  No  doubt  these 
fifteen  Psalms  originally  formed  a  separate  hynm-book.  Of  the 
many  interpretations  of  the  name,  the  most  probable  appears  to 
be  that  which  supposes  the  Psalms  to  have  been  sung  by  the 
pilgrims  going  up  to  keep  the  yearly  feasts  at  Jerusalem, 
l^xcept  Tsalm  182,  they  are  all  short,  and  express,  as  lyrics 
should,  some  single  thought  or  feeling.  Psalm  120  is  a  prayer 
against  the  false  tongues  of  treacherous  neighbours. 

Psalm  121. — Trust  in  Him  who  is  the  Maker  of  heaven  and  earth,  and  the 
Keeper  of  Israel. 

Psalm  122. — None  of  the  Pilgrim  Songs  answer  more  closely  to  the  title. 

Psalm  123. — Tlie  sigh  eitlier  of  the  exile  or  of  one  who  is  laughed  to  scorn. 

Psalm  124. — The  acknowledgment  of  the  lielp  and  deliverance  of  God. 

Psalm  125. — The  Lord  is  a  sure  defence. 

Psalm  12<').  -  Tlic  fh'st  band  of  exiles  return  as  if  in  a  dream.  They  cry  to  God 
to  biing  back  their  bii'thrcn  like  mighty  streams. 


BRIEF  XOTES  ON  THE  PSALTKiu  xvii 

Psalms  127  and  128. — "  Two  bright  companion  pictures  of  social  and  domestic 
life." — Peroivne. 

Psalm  129. — The  record  of  past  suffering,  and  a  prayer  for  the  final  overthrow 
of  enemies. 

Psalm  130. — The  sixth  of  the  Penitential  Psalms.  A  cry  to  God  for  the  forgive- 
ness of  sin. 

Psalm  131. — The  writer  "  contrives  to  claim  humility'  with  humility." — Cox. 

Psalm  132. — A  prayer  that  God's  promises  may  not  fail,  that  He  will  dwell  in 
His  chosen  habitation  on  Zion,  and  that  David's  children  may 
sit  on  his  throne  in  unbroken  succession. 

Psalm  133. — A  faithful  description  of  the  nature  of  true  unity. 

Psalm  134. — A  greeting  to  the  Priests  and  Levites  who  had  the  night-watch  in 
the  Temple,  and  their  answer  of  blessing.  A  fitting  close  to  the 
series  of  Pilgrim  Songs. 

Psalm  135. — Like  Psalm  134,  this  Psalm  is  addressed  to  the  Priests  and  Levites 
who  *'  stand  in  the  house  of  the  Lord."  The  Psalm  has  been  w^ell 
called  a  species  of  mosaic,  almost  entirely  composed  as  it  is  of 
passages  taken  from  other  sources  {see  Psalms  115,  134,  136,  and 
147). 

Psalm  136. — This  Psalm  is  called  in  the  Jewish  liturgy  "  the  Great  Hallel,"  It 
closely  resembles  Psalm  135.  It  was  evidently  designed  to  be 
sung  antiphonally  in  the  Temple  service. 

Psalm  137. — This  Psalm  expresses  the  feelings  of  an  exile  but  lately  returned 
from  captivity  to  his  native  land.  His  heart  is  full  of  bitter 
memories,  the  sense  of  wrong  and  desolation,  and  not  unnatural 
resentment. 

Psalm  138. — A  resolution  to  praise  God.  A  prophecy  that  the  kings  of  the  earth 
shall  give  thanks  to  God.  An  expression  of  personal  trust  in 
God. 

Psalm  139. — A  magnificent  and  striking  declaration  of  the  omniscience,  omni- 
presence, and  omnipotence  of  God. 

Psalm  140. — A  prayer  for  protection  against  crafty,  unscrupulous,  and  violent 
enemies. 

Psalm  141. — This  Psalm  is  referred  by  Delitzch  to  the  time  of  Absalom's 
rebellion.     The  allusions  in  verses  5-8  are  obscure. 

Psalm  142. — This  Psalm  is  supposed  to  express  the  thoughts  and  feelings  of 
David  when  he  was  suffering  under  persecution  by  Saul,  or  of 
some  one  in  like  circumstances. 

Psalm  143. — The  seventh  of  the  Penitential  Psalms.  A  complaint,  and  a  prayer 
founded  thereon. 

Psalm  144. — The  first  portion  of  this  Psalm,  vv.  1-11,  consists  of  a  string  of 
quotations  from  earlier  Psalms.  Yv.  12-15  appear  to  be  original. 
The  compiler's  object  seems  to  be  to  remind  the  people  that  as  in 
their  past  history  obedience  to  God  has  had  its  full  reward,  so 
will  it  be  in  the  future. 


xviii  BRIEF  NOTES  ON  THE  PSALTER. 

Psalm  145. — This  Psalm  is  the  last  of  the  Acrostic  or  Alphabetical  Psalms,  and 
is  the  only  Psalm  which  is  called  a  Hymn  in  the  title.  The 
subject  is  the  celebration  of  God's  care  for  all  the  creatures  of  His 
hand. 

Psalm  146.— This  Liturgical  Psalm  is  the  first  of  a  series  of  five  Hallelujah 
Psalms  intended  for  use  in  the  Temple  service,  with  which  the 
Psalter  closes.  It  is  an  exhortation  to  trust,  not  in  man,  but  in 
the  eternal  God,  "Who  is  alone  worthy  of  trust. 

Psalm  147.— The  celebration  of  God's  sovereignty  over  Nature,  and  over  His 
people,  and  specially  of  His  goodness  in  "  turning  the  captivity" 
of  Israel. 

Psalm  148. — A  call  to  both  heaven  and  earth  to  give  due  praise  unto  God. 

"  It  is  but  faintly  and  afar  off  that  the  ancient  Liturgies  (except  so 
far  as  they  merely  copied  their  originals)  come  up  to  the  majesty 
and  wide  compass  of  the  Hebrew  worship,  such  as  it  is  indicated 
in  the  148th  Psalm." — Isaac  Taylor. 

Psalm  149.— This  Psalm  is  full  of  intense  joy,  and  eager  hope  of  a  yet  more 
glorious  future  in  store  for  the  ransomed  nation. 

Psalm  150.  — This  is  the  great  closing  Hallelujah,  the  Doxology  of  the  whole 
Psalter,  in  which  "the  congregated  thousands  take  up  their  part 
with  a  shout,  '  even  as  the  voice  of  many  waters.' ' 
'  Let  everything  that  hath  breath  praise  the  Lord."

PSALM  I. — Beatus  rir,  qui  non  abiit. 

(Single  Chant,  major.) 

m/"      T)LESSED  is  the  man  *  that  hath  not  walked  in  the  counsel 
-■^     of  the  ungodly  *  nor  stood  m  the  I  way  of  I  sinners  : 
and  hath  not  s^t  in  th^  I  seat  I  of  the  I  scornful. 

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  I  of  the  I  Lord  : 

and  in  his  law  will  he  ex-er-cise*  him- 1 -self  I  day  and  I  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  phlnt-^d  by  the  I  wa-ter- 1 -side  : 
that  will  bring  f^rth  his  I  fruit  in  I  due  I  season. 

4  His  leaf  Jtl-s^  I  shall  not  I  wither  : 

and  look,  whatso^v-er  h^  I  do-eth,  I  it  shall  I  prosper. 

i>       5  As  for  the  ungodly,  it  is  n^t  I  so  with  I  them  : 

but  they  are  like  the  chaff  *  which   the   wind    scattereth 

aw^y  from  the  I  face  I  of  the  I  earth. 
Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not  be  able  to  stUnd  I  in  the  I 

judgment  : 
neither  the  sinners  in  the  con-gr^-l-ga-tion  I  of  the  I  righteous.

t  Altt'Duitirc  arrangenient.    Half  of  each  verse,  Dec.  and  Can  respectively. 


By  folio  win  fj  the  verse  -arranncment  found  in  both  the  Authorised  and  the  Revised  Versions, 
Psalm  I.  can  be  divided  into  two  equal  groups,  each  containing  three  verses,  and  may 
be  sung  to  a  Triple  Chant,  like  Psalm  II.  Verses  3  and  4  would  then  be  united,  and 
pointed  thus,  as  one  verse  : — 

77?/  And   he   shall  be  like  a  tree  planted   by  the  water- side  # 

that  will  bring  forth  his  fruit*  m  I  due  I  season  : 
his  leaf  also  shall  not  wither  »  and  look,  whatsoev-er  he  I 
do-eth,  !  it  shall  I  prosper. 

When  a  Triple  Chant  is  used,  it  will  probably  be  found  best  to  assign  each  group  to 
Dec.  and  Can.  respectively.  The  Gloria  should  be  -sung  to  a  corresponding  Double 
Chant.

^     of  the  ungodly  *  nor  stood  m  the  I  way  of  I  sinners  : 
and  hath  not  sat  in  the  I  seat  I  of  the  I  scornful. 

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  I  of  the  I  Lord  : 

and  in  his  law  will  he  ex-^r-cise'  him- 1 -self  I  day  and  I  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  plant- ed  by  the  1  wa-ter- 1 -side  :

By  folloiving  the  verse-arrangement  found  in  both  the  Authorised  and  th  Revised  Verdons, 
Psalm  I.  can  be  divided  into  two  equal  groups,  each  containing  three  ver^o^,  and  mag 
be  sung  to  a  Triple  Chant,  like  Psalm  II.  Verses  3  and  4  would  then  be  united,  and 
pointed  thus,  as  one  verse  : — 

mf  And  he   shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by  the   water-side  # 

that  will  bring  forth  his  fruit'  in  I  due  I  season  : 
his  leaf  also  shall  not  wither  »  and  look,   whatsoev-er  he  I 
do-eth,  I  it  shall  I  prosper. 

When  a  Triple  Chant  is  used,  it  will  probahlg  be  fmind  best  to  assign  each  group  to 
Dec.  and  Can.  respectively.  The  Gloria  should  be  sung  to  a  corresponding  Double

By  following  the  verse-arrangement  fonnd  in  hoth  the  Anthorised  and  the  Revised  Versions^ 
Psalm  I.  can  he  divided  into  two  eqnal  gronps,  each  containing  three  verses,  and  may 
be  sung  to  a  Triple  Chant,  like  Psalm  II.  Verses  3  and  4  woxdd  then  he  united,  and

under  his  tongue  is  un-l-god-li-l-ness  and  I  vanity.

and  privily  in  his  lurking  dens  doth  he  murder  the  innocent  ^

3  I  held  my  tongue'  and  I  spake  I  nothing  :

that  I  may  be  cer-ti-fied'  how  I  long  I  I  have  to  I  live.

tru-ly  my  I  hope  is  I  even  •  in  I  thee. 

9  Deliver  me  from  all  I  mine  of- 1 -fences  :

I  am  even  consumed  by  the  means'  of  I  thy  I  heav-y  I  hand. 

12  When    thou    with    rebukes    dost    chasten    man    for    sin    *

3  Thy  tongue*  im-l-agin-eth  I  wickedness  : 

and  with  lies  thou  cut-test*  I  like  a  I  sharp  I  razor. 

4  Thou  hast  loved  unright-eous-ness  I  more  than  I  goodness  : 
and  to  talk*  of  I  lies  I  more  than  I  righteousness. 

5  Thou  hast  loved  to  speak  all  words*  that  I  may  do  I  hurt  : 
0°  I  —  thou  I  false  I  tongue. 

6  Therefore  shall  God  destroy  I  thee  for  I  ever  : 

he  shall  take  thee,  and  pluck  thee  out  of  thy  dwelling  ^ 
and  root  thee  out  ^f  the  I  land  I  of  the  I  living. 

mf     7  The  righteous  also  shall  see  I  this,  and  I  fear  : 
and*  shill  I  laugh  I  him  to  I  scorn. 

8  Lo,  this  is  the  man  that  took  not  G8d  I  for  his  I  strength  : 
but    trusted    unto    the    multitude    of    his    riches    *    and 

strength- en -ed  him- 1 -self  I  in  his  I  wickedness. 

9  As  for  me,  I  am  like  a  green  olive  tr^e  in  the  I  house  of  I  God  : 
my  trust  is  in  the  tender  mtr-cf  if  I  God  for  I  ever  •  and  I  ever.

in  his  I  wickedness.  , 

22  The  Lord  hath  said  *  I  will  bring  my  people  again,  as  I  I

mine  own  will  I  bring  again  *  as  I  did  sometime  from*  the  I

-^      even  unto  such*  as  I  are  •  of  a  I  clean  I  heart. 
2  Nevertheless,  my  feet*  were  I  al-most  I  gone  : 
my  I  treadings  •  had  I  well-nigh  I  slipt. 

mf      3  And  why  #  I  was  griev'ed  I  at  the  I  wicked  : 

I  do  also  see  the  un- 1 -godly  •  in  I  such  pro-l-sperity. 

4  For  they  are  in  no  I  peril  •  of  I  death  : 
but*  ^re  I  lust-y  I  and  I  strong. 

5  They  come  in  no  misfor-tune  like  I  oth-er  I  folk  : 
neither  are*  they  I  plagued  •  like  I  oth-er  I  men. 

6  And  this  is  the  cause  that  they  are*  so  I  holden  •  with  I  pride  : 
and  I  o-ver- 1  -whelmed  •  with  I  cruelty. 

7  Their  eyes  I  swell  with  I  fatness  : 
and  they  do  I  ev-en  I  what  they  I  lust. 

8  They  corrupt  other  *  and  speak*  of  I  wick-ed  I  blasphemy  : 
their  talk-ing  is  a- 1 -gainst  the  I  most  I  High. 

9  For  they  stretch  forth  their  mouth  I  unto  'the  I  heaven  : 
and  their  tongue  I  go-eth  I  through  the  I  world. 

10  Therefore  fall  the  peo-ple  I  un-to  I  them  : 

and  thereout  suck  I  they  no  I  small  ad- 1 -vantage. 

11  Tush,  say  they  *  h^w*  should  I  God  per-l-ceive  it  : 
is  there  kn^w-l^dge  I  in  the'  I  most  I  High  ? 

12  Lo,  these  are  the    ungodly,  these  prosper   in    the   world   ^ 

and  these  have   rich-es  I  in  pos- 1 -session  : 
and  I  said  *  Then    have  I  cleansed  my  heaic  in  vain,*  and  I
